Here's one member of my planned deathrace team that didn't make the starting line: http://www.burnleyexpress.net/news/brave-raf-serviceman-loses-cancer-battle-1-8301201

I just learned that one of the people I had intended to use on my Deathrace team, Shahbaz Saleem, a senior RAF aircraft man, has passed away from cancer aged 28, before the starting line. Seemed to be such a nice guy. Wouldn't of gotten a DDP obit, but he was perfect deathrace material: http://www.burnleyexpress.net/news/brave-raf-serviceman-loses-cancer-battle-1-8301201

Looking at my team at the moment, currently half of the members I would consider likely drop 40 candidates, the other half won't though.

Looks like I know who my joker is Actually, my team probably won't have a ton of people are going to be executed. Part of that doesn't seem to be fair. I would probably limit the amount of people who are going to be executed per team so it doesn't goes out of hand and there still would be a fair shot for other people. That's my stance of the matter.

Who died and put you in charge? No one, which is why I brought it up.

Is that right?*waves farewell to Morbidkid*

Evidence in case he tries to change it again Congrats for ripping out most of Sean's original with adding a few of your own. And changing your joker.

I think morbidkid changed his joker. His joker was King Michael of Romania, but now it has changed to Ricky Javon Gray. I don't think Morbidkid is allowed to change his joker, unless I miss something, so he might be banned from playing deathrace for life.

Final list for this week: Michael Nicholson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Lord Prior, Rabbi Lionel Blue, and Pauline Oliveros. Surprised Heimlich didn't make it.

I think I'm reaching a point where I'm starting to overthink this. When I put on the hopefully unique person on my provisional team, the person I had to drop (in my eyes at least) was Nobby Stiles. I've now have sentenced him to death so you might want to pick him I hate this phase.

I can't seem to find that person, but I did find someone looking at the article that looks like to be a goner in 2017 and I believe it's my best bet for a unique. I'm probably going to play them.

Don't call it off. I think many of us are waiting for Boxing Day for that to happen.

There's always Jimmy Fallon if you can't think of anyone

It's a lie Grim and Welshman chuck in the odd name once msc and I run out of steam around the 30 mark. That'll explain how Lester Piggott made the list

Question: are players only allowed to select certain players on certain categories?

Grim Reaper is the owner of the site and member of the committee. I think welshman was a committee member at some point as well. Other than that, no idea.

Golden State Warriors super fan, known as Sweetie, has died aged 107: http://abc7news.com/sports/warriors-super-fan-sweetie-dies-at-age-107/1668884/

Emma Morano. Sure, she'd only score 3 points, but why would I give you young people's names that are ill.

10 now with the death of Zsa Zsa. About half are dead now.

He is in too good shape at the moment in my view. True, but he seems to be the kind of guy that they would continually put on until his death. Especially after a health scare earlier this month and missing out on John Glenn.

Something tells me Buzz Aldrin is going to be on deathlist next year. I could honestly see him as a deathlist regular till his death.

I think this is the one year round dead pool I won't be competing in. Writing together a team seems very complicated even though the scoring is simple. I can not take part of it. Good luck to everyone who will be taking part of this dead pool.

I've totally got the best HPDP team ready (and no, there is absolutely no sarcasm there)...

I'm sure many of us will be thinking "Oh no Sean, not another dead pool," only to post a team hours later.

Nice foreshadowing...
